Answer:
original number is 18.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original number be x
x - 17% of x = 15
x* (1 - 0.17) = 15
x * 0.83 = 15
x = 15/0.83
x = 18.072289156
Or if your wording meant 17% of a number is 15 then:
x * 17% = 15
x *0.17 = 15
x = 15/0.17 = 88.23529...
but I think you meant "decreased by 17%" so I choose x = 18.07
Answer:
25000 mg.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 1000 mg per gram. If we multiply 1000*25 we will get 25000 mg of sugar.

We want the integral of the standard normal from -z to z to be 0.85. Let's look at some standard normal tables and pick the right one.
It's easy to find the Erf one, which is the integral of the unit normal from 0 to z. That will be exactly half of the integral from -z to z. So we look for the z value corresponding to a probability of 0.425 in that table and find
z = 1.44
